I haven’t tried this method, but you keep mentioning that you are using ORACAL 651. That is a vinyl that would not let any solvent penetrate it. It also have better adhesion for the toner. The impression I get from everyone is that this is a method for transferring from paper.

Subject: Re: [Homebrew_PCBs] Cold toner transfer FAILURE
Tried another transfer using ORACAL 651, using a mixture of half
acetone and half denatured alcohol Followed Harvey's directions
and burnished the artwork backside with the backside of a fork
following DuWayne. The artwork did not transfer.
Tried it again with the same mixture. This time I put the copper
clad board between two steel plates that I marked with a red Sharpie.
I squeezed them together for ten minutes using two medium C clamps.
This time about a third of the toner transfer from the artwork to
the copper clad--in the middle of the board. PARTIAL SUCCESS...
Next time, try applying pressure with a pipe clamp. Better yet,
get a 6-inch brayer. I see the brayers come in either hard rubber
or soft rubber. Which kind did you get, Harvey? I've never used one.
